creating probe file

I rarely have the same build but I often change the color of the stem / tip or sometimes just the tip so I know what brand( Leitz, Renishaw, Q-mark or ITP) and material of the tip as a reminder.
Don Ruggieri it would be nice to see the a more comprehensive way to define probes. A digital catalog. Maybe you could work with the vendors and compile a data base so that we can key in part numbers instead of going into the PROBE.DAT and configuring ourselves. It is fun, but I don't get paid to have fun
AND more useful drop down menus that actually scroll with your mouse wheel, its a new concept in GUI functionality lol

For a special application, I created this :
